Specifications:
Maintenance:
The bending machine plays a critical role in the manufacturing sector and industrial infrastructure. Industries such as construction, automotive, shipbuilding, and many others rely on the bending machine for the fabrication of different products.
Here are some common application scenarios of the bending machine for use:
Fabrication of Metal Frames and Structures
The bending machine is used to bend metal beams and frames for support. This includes the making of galvalume eaves and gutter supports, roof rafters, window frames, metal scaffolding, and brackets, to mention a few.
Automotive Manufacturing
The automotive industry employs different bending machines to manufacture various car parts. This includes body panels, frames, exhaust systems, and chassis components. Bending machines create complex shapes and features like flanges, notches, and curves in these parts for a functional and rigid structure.
HVAC Ductwork
An HVAC system maintains the temperature of a building by either heating or cooling it. Ductwork transports air from the central unit to different rooms. A bending machine is often used to create the ductwork for an efficient flow of conditioned air.
Metal Furniture
With several attachments and adjustments, a bending machine can be used to make distinctive metal furniture. Whether it's coffee tables, chevet tables, or kitchen stools, this machine can design with precision.
Signage and Display Stands
It creates an advertising sign and display stands with intricate designs. The bending machine makes it easy to form various angles, curves, and letters. It does this using the appropriate bending techniques and materials.
Shipbuilding and Repair
Marine industries also make use of the bending machine. It is an essential tool for building and repairing ships and marine vessels. With the bending machine, technicians are able to create hull sections, bulkheads, decks, and piping systems.
The following factors should guide purchasers when choosing a WC67K heavy plate bending machine for their operation:
Machinery Application
Select the bending machine according to the area of use and materials. For instance, choosing a stainless steel bending machine is more suitable for working with stainless steel. Machinery with an adjustable roller gap is better for non-ferrous and elastic alloy materials.
Bending Accuracy
Select the machine's depending upon accuracy requirements. While some projects demand high-precision bending, others can be satisfied with lower precision. Choosing what is necessary will improve efficiency and reduce expenditure.
Control System
Select the machine's control system based on operator skill levels. Choose a simple interface or manual bending for a small team. On the other hand, go for advanced CNC machines that offer automation for large-scale operations.
Machine Capacity
Consider the capacity of the bending machine, including the force it can exert, the material thickness and width it can handle, and its overall dimensions and weight. Choose a machine with the right capacity to handle the materials used in the current project and its future ones.
Tooling Options
Consider the machine's tooling options. Go for machines that offer accessories such as changeable dies, clamping kits, and other customizable tools.
Maintenance Support
Purchasers should carefully assess the bending machine manufacturer's maintenance support and replacement parts' accessibility. Go for suppliers who provide ready replacement parts and comprehensive maintenance support to reduce interruption and downtime.
Q: What are the controls on a bending machine?
A: Generally, a bending machine has a number of controls. It includes an operating pedal to facilitate bending in a quick and efficient manner, a digital display for precise angle and degree measurements as well as programming options to allow customization of bend angles, sequence, and timing.
Q: What is the difference between bending and folding?
A: While both processes involve reshaping materials, the metal bending machine exerts pressure to form the metal into an arch or curve without changing its thickness. On the other hand, the metal folding machine, such as a power drop folding machine, holds the metal along its edges and exerts pressure to bend it into a V shape, which is primarily used to create a flange or a lip on the edge of a piece of metal.
Q: What is the capacity of a bending machine?
A: The bending capacities of machines differ. For instance, the Wc67k 400t 6000 has a maximum capacity of 400 tons.
